I started off this project looking at the New Romantics subculture and the influences behind it; Steve Strange, Rusty Egan and the BLITZ club in Covent Garden, London. The club required an original dress code to get in with which is what boosted the originality of the New Romantics dress sense. This developed further as I looked more into the statements that were made at the time such as those said at the club to entice people in as well as some political ones relating to Margret Thatcher and the mining strike. I’ve used this to influence my print designs which are both bold and graphic and used all the research to put a twist and modern wearable element on the New Romantic style.
